pasión después de diez años

i was trying to do this in spanish, to no avail. so yeah, english snippets would do

gato: yeah. yeah. oh well, saw paola the other day... (hesitant) she was talking to naty. (sipping his drink and avoiding michels' eye) i guess she is separated.

michel: who? (nonchalant) paola is separated?

gato: no. (cough) naty (cough, touches his chest as if having a difficult time breathing). not that it matters to you (looking up to michel)

 michel: oh. (pause) oh. the two young girls. (shakes his head) that... is... sad (looks towards the window with heavy eyes. crosses his arms behind his head) (margarita comes walking in)

gato: (trying to dispel the heavy air) so, what are your plans? coming here to colombia? new show? 

margarita: i am the one with the new show. (wrapping her arms around michel who looks up at her and then looks away to the window again) michel here would be doing household chores for me for a while. right babe? (gato reaches for margarita's hand to congratulate her)

michel: yeah. (nodding to gato and then after a pause). but i might also be looking at some scripts. remember the one julio jimenez sent to me last month (to margarita), i am thinking of looking it over once more.

margarita: (already sitting down) but you have said no to that already?

michel: yup, but, i do not think julio would have given it away to another so quickly.

gato: the one about lawyers? (looking suspicious) where he wanted to reunite some pdg casts?

margarita: oh, really. you did not tell me that. that would have been awesome, and the premise is really good. why did you reject it anyway?

michel: i just was not up to it at that time. but seeing gato again now, i just thought i wanted to work with him again (looking at gato, as if saying do not talk anymore)

margarita: the two of you, such little boys who could not get enough of each other (ruffles both of the men's hair)

gato looks worried, michel looks determined, margarita is clueless
